Name and/or Alias: Elucidarian
Location: Amber Waves of Grain
Occupation: Archival Specialist
Top five favorite movies: Back to the Future, Dark City, Dazed and Confused, Donnie Darko, My Neighbor Totoro
Worst movie you’ve ever seen, ever: The worst travesty in a movie for me is the total disregard for how physics should apply to homo sapien sapiens with no fantastical plausibility. Thus, my hate on Superman IV culminated with Mariel Hemingway’s lack of horrible death when taken to the moon in an elevator. I cringe at the thought of it.
Best shitty movie you’ve ever seen: I don’t know. Buckaroo Bonzai, perhaps?
If you were forced to make a remake of a classic film or 80′s property, what would you pick? I’d have to go with “Outlaws” (CBS 1986-1987), which attempted in 11 episodes to suggest how a group of late 19th century cowboys would handle life in the present? I have a soft spot for people out of time and place, though I think it’s seldom been done effectively.
Where do you prefer to watch your movies, IMAX, theater, computer, television, or iPod? No IMAX near enough, so theater it is.
Favorite movie moment: That implicit moment of hesitation when Old Ben Kenobi decides what to tell Luke about his father, though the reason for his hesitance isn’t revealed until Empire. How many films premeditate like that, really?
Top five favorite comics/webcomics: Order of the Stick, Girl Genius, For Better Or For Worse, XKCD, Penny Arcade
Favorite artist: Rebecca Guay, totally.
Floppies, trade paper backs, digital downloads, or webcomics? These days, webcomics, but I savor digging through my old floppies (like the long-lost box just found in my parents’ basement. Joy…!).
Favorite comic moment: When the repercussions of killing his father dawn on Legion.
Mac or PC? PC
Battle cry: Let the consequences suit the crime!
Mighty finisher: A slam of my fist to the parched earth which reverberates in the leaching of all color, sound, and substance from the world about me, the horde of encroaching enemies instantly reduced to white, ash-thin shells which collapse before my eyes in the evening breeze and are gone. [Dissolve]
How did you discover the Angry Zen Master? I have way too much web surfing backlog to recall the particulars. What matters is that of all the nooks and crannies I encounter, only a few shine with such peculiar light as AZM.
